Vier Maande!!!

Good Monday everybody. It was another quick week here in Bedfordview. Elder Dutson and I have been studying a lot of Afrikaans. It is a really interesting language that derives from the Dutch. A lot of words come from English as well, but they have a different way of saying them. The hardest part about this language is the pronunciation, as it is with most languages, but this one is different.

We are on bikes still and the weather is still pretty hot. Nothing too exciting except Taxi cars brushing your side as they go past you. Riding bikes gets pretty intense down here. There are also a lot of what are called learner drivers, so yeah crazy stuff.

So last week I hit my four month mark as you can read from the title, if you speak Afrikaans that is. It is really amazing how fast time goes by when you're having a good time.

We have been working with our new Bishop and work is really starting to move forward. We met a new family this week and they seem to be really cool and excited to hear about the gospel. It is really amazing how the Lord prepares different people throughout their lives.
